[DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY] CASL Chelsea (U-17/18) and Charlotte Soccer Academy (U-15/16) are the top seeds in their age groups in the 2010-11 Development Academy playoffs, which will be played June 24-28 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas.

Charlotte Soccer Academy, North Carolina Fusion and the Seattle Sounders are the only programs seeded in both age groups. Empire United and D.C. United were the only two clubs to win their division in both age groups.
